We created a word cloud of the words we text to each other most often below:
“Baby”, “Babe”, “Love”, and “Lol” are a few of our most frequently used words!
Sent Texts Quantity
Our first winter together, texting ~600 times a week was the norm. Since Neil moved in, our texting slowed down quite a bit.

Average Character Count Per Text
There seems to be a slight downward trend in the length of the texts that we send each other - however, certain events seem to spike longer texts towards one another. The week after we got engaged, Neil’s texting character count increased dramatically!

Below are two bar charts showing the total number of texts we have sent to each other and the average number of text characters in each of our text messages to each other.
Neil doesn’t always respond! Karina has sent over 1,000 more texts to Neil since they have known each other.

In the chart below, we selected words that we use frequently in texts to each other, or we feel are special to us.
Look below to see that Karina says “Baby” a lot, and Neil “Laughs Out Loud” a lot.

Take a look at our trends in the selected words we text each other below!
For better interpretability, we have highlighted certain sections of this graph to tell a few stories. Check out the tabs below to see some interesting trends we found in or texting!
Right after we decided to make it an official relationship, “Love you” made its way into our regular texting. We were quick to say we love each other… And we love** that!**

At the beginning of their relationship, Neil rarely used the word “Baby” but overtime he seems to mimic the way Karina used the word. An increase in Neil texting the word “Baby” can be seen after we move in together.

Furthermore, if you look at the trend of the word “Babe” among each of us, Neil has used “Babe” much less in his current texts than with Karina, but Karina rarely used that word to start with!

Notice how Ben (Karina’s son) becomes a topic of conversation much more frequently after he was introduced to Neil.

Note: One of Neil’s best friends is also named Ben, so some of this data may be inflated.
After we made our relationship official, Neil started to “Laugh Out Loud” much more frequently. Karina “Laughed Out Loud” at a pretty low frequency throughout their relationship.

From December through February, we were saying “Good morning” to each other nearly everyday. Since the end of February, the number of times we say “Good morning” to each other via text is nearly zero. Although we started “officially” living with each other in August, we have been seeing each other every morning for quite a while. We get to wish each other a good morning in person everyday, now! The only time we text each other “Good morning” or “Good night” now is when one of us are away.
